Baltimore Weight Loss

Top 9 reasons why people do not sustain weight loss .
By Lucas Seipp-Williams, CHC

Do you struggle to lose weight?

The truth is that weight gain and obesity is only one possible way the body shows us that we are out of balance.   And it is important to note that many skinny people are very unhealthy- their bodies just don’t show it by holding onto excess weight.

I actually prefer the term “weight release,” because “loss” has a negative connotation that our subconscious mind fights against.  But I’ll use the words Baltimore weight loss here because it’s what so many people relate to.

Have you experienced weight loss only to gain it back again each time?

Top 9 reasons why people do not sustain weight loss:

1. Restrictive Dieting- always creates a boomerang effect that sends us back to our old ways of eating

2. One-Size-Fits-All Dieting- eating a diet that worked for someone else does not take into consideration your unique metabolism, ancestry, gender, age, likes and dislikes, Blood Type, etc.

3. Eating at Night- Eating after 7 pm, when metabolism is slowed and ready for sleep, is a sure fire way to prevent Baltimore weight loss.

4. Sedentary Lifestyle- There is no point in obsessing about and restricting food ever, and certainly not if you aren’t regularly moving your body.

5. Too Much Cardio! - Especially critical to your weight loss goal is muscle building.  Muscle cells burn 50 times more calories then fat cells do.  So first priority is to strengthen, tone and build your muscles.

6. Lack of Primary Foods- Primary foods are all the inedible areas of your life that nourish and balance you- your relationships, spirituality, career, hobby, community life, etc.  Any lack in these areas will show up as craving in our relationship with food.

7. Putting Life on Hold- So many people are putting off living their most inspired, adventurous, passionate, authentic life- waiting to get started once they lose the weight!   This makes life boring, stressful, lonely, and so on.  Sounds like at ticket to “Cravingsburg” to me!

8. Unresolved Emotions- Emotions that are not fully experienced and discharged, control and run us around.  Anxiety, frustration, grief, anger, depression- food is one of the most convenient and successful ways to soothe and stuff our emotions.

9. No Possibility- Simply put, if you don’t believe something is possible… then it ain’t!  If you do believe something is possible, than there is a chance.

And when it comes to weight loss, there is more than a chance.  It’s a sure thing! Your body is highly intelligent.  It is always working towards balance, and body weight is no different.

Much more exciting than the obstacles to weight loss is the approach that will get you past those obstacles for life-long results.
